Growing up in small town, my brother and sisters and even my mother had the same second grade teacher. Miss Ada read this story a chapter a day right after lunch everyday. We all loved her and the little horse. Wonderful story, but maybe not modern enough for todays kids. Although, I will read it to my grandbaby in a couple of years.
